Property reference with default value in persistence.xml ignored in Hibernate in JBoss EAP

Issue

• A property reference was specified for configuration in the persistence.xml in a JPA application but the value is ignored

  <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache" value="${hibernate.cache.level2.enabled:false}"/>
  

• Whether the property is set (e.g. as a system property in the standalone.xml) to false or omitted, the cache is enabled.
